CALDA — your personalised way to freedom


The Gold Coast Residence of the CALDA Clinic is situated in one of Switzerland’s most beautiful locations, the Zurich Gold Coast. The panoramic view of the lake and the Swiss mountains supports recovery. However, for discretionary reasons and the protection of privacy, no one knows the clinic’s exact location


T


he ways people come across Dr Claudia M. Elsig, the medical


director, may be diff erent, but all of them are based on fi rst-hand recommendations. Talking about mental problems needs overcoming and unfortunately it’s still a taboo in our society. CALDA Clinic is a small private,


owner-managed institution that specialises in mental health reha- bilitation programmes. Its off er is aimed at international, well-known personalities who are looking for a professional and tailor-made treatment in a luxurious environ- ment. With the unique, tried-and- tested CALDA Concept, the human being as a whole is considered. For more than 20 years, Dr Elsig has been breaking new ground in the treatment of phenomena like trauma, addiction, stress, burnout, depression, anxiety. Dr Claudia, as she’s aff ection-


ately known by her clients, off ers exclusive future-orientated state- of-the-art medicine with her inter- national team of experts. The focus is on humanity and a consistent personalisation of medical care through individual therapy programmes. She’s personally responsible for the entire therapy process from start to fi nish.


Dr Claudia is a trauma specialist


with training in cognitive behav- ioural therapy (CBT), clinical hypnosis, EMDR and enactive psychotherapy. In addition, she’s worked in the fi elds of epigenetics and orthomolecular medicine. For more than fi ve years, she had


been working in addiction medi- cine. Her holistic interdisciplinary approach has been successful for around 10 years. In many cases, people come to the


CALDA Clinic in an exceptional situ- ation, in a life crisis or after years of suff ering. That’s why Dr Elsig likes to compare fi rst-phase treatment with a drowning lifeboat equipped with everything needed to get back to shore safely. Behind the facade of people, families or entire dynasties, many secrets are hidden. That’s where CALDA starts. Primary treatment focuses on


mental stabilisation, which prepares for the transfer into everyday life. Continuing care following the stay at the CALDA Clinic makes sense, especially in cases of addiction or chronic illness. Dr Elsig is critical of what so


often happens in modern psychiatry — the uncritical and sometimes rash prescribing of very strong psychotropic drugs.
